Yes, but it might be that the base produces it very slowly, so that they would only have, say, 100 fuel on hand (well, ok that's 2K RUs, not bad...). Note that I bet that even a Dreadnought gets better gas mileage than the Precursor ship, so that would go quite a ways...

Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs isn't going to help... you want those testes intact.

Is it just me, or were those 500 Syreen males among the 10,000 people still left in their species really lucky? I mean, imagine... the only hope for the survival of your race is to make as many babies with as many women as you possibly can. This is an endeavour I would gladly volunteer to take part in.
Well, if the syreen believe in complete fidelity in marrage, then those 500 males would have married 500 females, the rest would have built society. Now, those 500 breeder couples would have made lotsa babies, and they re-marry, and have lotsa babies, and by then the 9,500 syreen females would have all gone into retirement. However, 9,500 females building a society would make for a very matricharcial society. Hense, even tho by this generation the population, male to female, would have more evened out, the fact is that it's still a female run society. The men probably stay at homes, raise the children, and get the lower pay scale. And while a syreen pilot or captian may not be unheard of, they're breaking into a job market that was dominated by females. They'd be way rare.
I think that's the point I was getting at.

I don't even wanna think about an old Syreen. Aren't they beautiful their whole lives? You're ruining that perfect, uptopian, blue image in my head! By the way, do you think a female Syreen designed the Penetrator? I think it would have to be a male Syreen, for obvious reasons... either that or the women drew from memory.

Maybe they're just drop dead gorgous untill they hit 80 and then the ugly tree falls on them. Kinda like the chinese women. No serious. I spent 2 years in asia and I've only seen 2 kinds of chinese women. Younge and beautiful and ancient old aunties. I mean it's like one day their husband must roll over in bed and say "Uh! I expected her to catch up with me one day, but I didn't expect her to get so far ahead!"
Of course by then, the Syreen aunties wouldn't be politing ships or captaning bases. They may not even survive the instant aging process. Talnya was nowhere in site in that last animation on SC2.

Spathi? What spathi? You're imagining, hunam.

The thought occurs to me that maybe ALL syreen are actually ugly, but thanks to their psychic powers, you'll never see what they really look like. Kinda like a beer-goggle emitter ray, built in.
